SWEETENS
THE BREATH

Developing Hudson’s Bay Route

Recent announcements of efforts that are being made to interest Bri-
tish capital and Federal provincial governments to aid in extending the
Sphere of influence and service of Churchill as the Canadian port of the
Hudson’s Bay route by construction of rail extensions to give direct con-
nection between the Bay and the larger centres in the western provinces as
well as the Pacific Coast are stimulating public interest in the possibilities
of further development of this comparatively new trade channel.

The past few months has seen the birth of proposals that Winnipeg
should be given direct connection with Churchill by construction of a road
due north from that city which would cut. off approximately one-third of
the distance between the Bay and Winnipeg via The Pas; that a line should

id be built from Big River, Saskatchewan through the Lake Athabaska
country, giving Prince Albert direct connection with Hudson’s Bay and
bringing Saskatoon closer; that a link should be made between that line
and the, Alberta Great Waterways Railway giving Edmonton and Calgary
connection with Churchill and also, via Edmonton, a line from Churchill
to Vancouver, using the existing C.N.R. main line from the Alberta capital
to the B.C. coast port and finally, & suggestion of a more direct line between
the Pacific Coast and Churchill through the Peace River country.

It is not likely that all these lines will be built at once, but so many
advantages can be claimed for them that it is reasonable to believe exten-
sions will be made from time to time, as the need for them becomes more
apparent, and that in course of time, perhaps.not so far distant, a more or
less direct northern route from Churchill to the Pacific Coast will be an
actuality. Just how long that will be is a matter of pure conjecture at
this stage.

Some of the advantages claimed for these extensions are that they
would make possible the development of the rich mineral lands in the north
of the three prairie provinces with greater rapidity, that the shortened dis-
tances between Hudson’s Bay and the larger western centres would result
in decreased freight levies on many incoming and outgoing commodities
and that a shorter overland route would.tend to promote more tourist
traffic between Europe and the Orient. It is also contended that the con-
struction of a direct north route between the Pacific and the Bay would
have distinct militaristic value in the event of Canada becoming embroiled
with any aggressive Oriental power, since Vancouver would no longer be
the sole practical outlet on the western seaboard.

’ While the military aspect has not been overlooked, the promoters of
this new northern network of communications are more particularly in-
terested in the value it would have in developing the trade and commerce
of the country, its potential effect on the freer exchange of commodities
between Western Canada and European countries and particularly Great
Britain and its possibility in promoting more local trade.

With the prospective development of the mineralized areas of this vast
north country becoming more immediate the last-mentioned objective is
one which has immediate significance to the people of the western provinces
and should be of particular interest to the farmers who, under existing con-
ditions, are finding an urgent need of developing more and greater local
markets for increasing varieties of farm products.

When the immensity of this great northland is reviewed and the un-
doubted great value of its resources is considered, the possibility of de-

World Power Station

Professor Believes Electricity Could
Be Produced From Antarctic Gales

Electricity made by Antarctic
gales may soon be used to illuminate
every home in the world, in the opin-
ion of Prof. Frank Debenham, who
was with Captain Scott on his ill-
fated expedition and is now director
of the Scott Polar Research Institute
at Cambridge, England.

Prof. Debenham is confident that
the present uninhabited south polar
regions, nearly 5,000,000 square
miles in extent, will one day house
the great power-generating stations
of the world.

“All round the continent,” he
said, “terrific winds blow from the
high plateau, and one day these may
be harnessed to wind-driven gener-
ators. But we should have to wait
until we have radio-transmission of
power before this inexhaustible
source of energy could be connected
with the rest of the world.”

No human or animal life exists in
the Antarctic because, even if they
could survive the rigors of the cli-
mate, there is no plant life.

To counteract this, however, the
professor said building of subter-
ranean cities far below the ice-bound
desolation and deadly blizzards of
the Antarctic would not be fantastic.

Scientists now. visualize the build-
ing of great subterranean caverns
wherein cities can be erected, with
complete scientific civilization, arti-
ficial. sunlight, and air-conditioning
which would put the climate under
the control of man.

Announcement Made By U.S. Depart-
ment Of Agriculture

Outstanding success during the
past year in use of a new drug for
the treatment of burns, chronic
ulcers and other non-healing wounds
was announced from the United
States department of agriculture.

Dr. William Robinson, scientist
who brought the chemical known as
allantoin into wide use after discov-
ering its curative properties, said
remarkable results have been obtain-
ed by physicians and surgeons
throughout the country.

Speaking cautiously lest the drug
might be regarded in the class of
alleged cure-alls, Dr. Robinson said
results thus far have led the mem-
bers of the medical profession who
have used it to extend the applica-
tion of allantoin to the treatment of
other external wounds which have
failed to heal under other treatment.
These have included infections of the
mouth, diabetic ulcers, and the bone
disease known as osteomyelitis.

Information Given In
Respect To Recording
Operations On The Farm

‘Although agricultural secougnting; from time to time by a supervising

has ® fairly long history and con-
siderable progress has been made,
some problems still remain unsettled
and far too little use has been made
of accounts by the average farmer.
This is the opinion of W. F. Chown,
Chartered Accountant, Dominion
Agricultural Eeomomics Branch, Ot-
tawa, who discusses some aspects of
agricultural accounting in the Cana-
dian Chartered Accountant.

Mr. Chown recognizes the difficul-
ties experienced by farmers in keep-
ing accounts. “In contrast with the
conditions obtaining tn industry,” he
says, “consider the case of a farmer
calléd from haying to ship some
cattle. If he receives a voucher,
probably it will be reduced to pulp
in his pocket after several hours in
the hay mow. Later he may rush to
town to get an emergency repair and
at his wife's bidding get groceries
and buy shoes for the children. The
difficulty of remembering these de-
tails until office hours will be appar-
ent to any reader who has attempted
to keep personal accounts.”

Besides such physical difficulties
as these in the way of proper ac-
counting, the farmer has many
special problems to solve because of
the varied nature of his business.
Real estate valuation is one of the
first he meets. It commonly hap-
pens that the sum of the values of
buildings and land is considerably
more than the cost or market price
of the whole farm. Mr. Chown ad-
vises either reducing the value of
the separate parts proportionately
until together they equal the value
of the whole farm, or providing for
the contingency of higher replace-
ment costs by systematically build-
ing up out of profits a reserve for
that purpose.

The rate to be charged for de-
preciation of machinery varies from
farm to farm, according’ to the
amount of service required from any
particular implement. Live. stock
are both appreciating and depreciat-
ing assets and call for special ac-
counting treatment. “I have found
it quite practicable,” says the author,
“to treat sales and purchases of
live stock as revenue and expense
and to inventory live stock at the
beginning and ending of the year.”

Departmental accounts are nec-
essary on a farm’ because of the
different types of business done.
Mr. Chown suggests setting up an
adjustment account in addition. In
this case the department making
the transfer is credited with what
the produce would realize if sold
and the department to which the
produce is charged is debited with
laid-down cost at the farm. The en-
tries are then completed by debit-
ing and crediting an adjustment ac-
count.

“It is quite possible,” says Mr.

Chown, “that on many mixed farms
each enterprise would be conducted
at a loss, but the saving on the use
of home-grown feeds and manures
would be sufficient to turn the
,losses into a net profit. This alone
is sufficient to lead me to believe
that the farm can be studied best
as a unit in which various combina-
tions of enterprises may be carried
on, one of which combinations will
be more profitable than the others,
rather than as several units under
one operator any one of which can
be considered independently of the
others. Subject to this qualification,
departmental accounts are of con-
siderable value. This will not apply
where specialization is carried to a
high degree and other live stock kept
and crops grown to provide power
and subsistence chiefly.”

The author goes thoroughly into
the matter of accounting for farm
produce used on the farm, board of
hired men, car expenses, help pro-
vided by members of the family,
etc, One quite practical method of
setting up proper accounting sys-
tems, where farmers feel that they

have not the necessary knowledge | 1

and experience, is for several

accountant. At the year-end the
necessary information for closing ia
secured by the accountant, the
books are assembled and closed and
reports are made to individual
farmers. These reports analyze his
Dusiness in comparison with other
farms of a similar type on the route.

Field Crops Of Canada

Gress Farm Revenue In 1935 Was
943 Million Dollars
Field crops are Canada’s - main

source of agricultural revenue; On-| :

tario and Saskatchewan the leading
provinces. The groas farm revenue
in 19356 was 943 million dollars and
field crops accounted for about 507
million dollara, more than half of
the total.

Saskatchewan is the great wheat
province. Despite drought, rust and
frost, the yield last year was 135
million bushels, or almost half of the
277 million bushes produced in the
whole Dominion. Alberta came sec-
ond with 102 million, Manitoba had
22% million and Ontario produced
14 million bushels: The Prairie
Provinces produce hard spring wheat
while Ontario produces soft winter
wheat. Saskatchewan is also the
leading producer of oats. The crop
last year was 132 million bushels
out of a Dominion total of 394 mil-
lion. Ontario was second with 8&5
million bushels of oats and Alberta
third with 82 million. Saskatchewan
and Manitoba were about equal in
barley, with over 23 million bushels
each. Ontario was third with 17
million bushels and Alberta fourth
with 16 million bushels. Ontario is
the principal producer of corn. Sas-
katchewan grew more than half of
the rye.

The potato crop of. the Dominion
was about 39 million cwt. Quebec
was the leading producer with 11%
million cwt., while Ontario was sec-
ond with 7% million cwt.

Community Enterprises
People Of The West Have Not Yet
Lost Their Courage

Despite numerous troubles, the peo-
ple of the West are still filled with
courage and ready to maintain a
vigorous community life and to press
forward with new development if
given the least kind of a “break” in
an economic way.

Community enterprises are being
pushed forward vigorously, various
organizations are being well main-
tained. The smaller towns and vil-
lages are showing that they are
much alive. In the main, there is
nothing much wrong with the great
body of people in this Western coun-
try despite the hammering of fate
and misfortune in the last five or six
years.

Someone may say that there is not

Pioneer Bird Bander Active

Jack Miner Bands Over Twelve Hun-
dred Canada Geese This Spring
It is a well-known fact that Jack

Miner is a pioneer in tagging birds

on this continent. He tagged his

first duck in August, 1909, at Kings-
ville, Ontario. That duck was report-
ed killed.in January, 1910, in South

Carolina.

He had to invent nets and con-
trivances to catch the various species
he has tagged. That, in itself, was
a task that demanded no little in-
genuity and entailed no small ex-
pense,

To date he has tagged over fifteen
thousand Canada geese. This past
spring he made seven or eight
catches, which totalled over twelve
hundred in number,

These tags furnish invaluable in-
formation to the scientists, natural-
ists and game protective depart-
ments concerned in the study of the
life, habits. and migration routes of
our birds. The authentic data so
secured is used not only in the uni-
versities of the continent, but also by
federal, state and provincial govern-
ments in both Canada and the
United States. Such records demon-
strate clearly where the largest per-
centages of migratory wildfowl are
killed.

Each tag put on bears Jack
Miner's name, post office address and
the date, while in one corner is also
stamped a selected verse of Scrip-
ture, this being Jack Miner’s unique
way of passing along God’s word to
the people who shoot this coveted
game bird.

‘Each of the twelve hundred tags
put on this spring carried such a
Scripture message, so that Jack
Miner calls them his “winged mis-
sionaries.”

Wheat Control Abandoned

Spain Is First To Part With Europe’s
Policy On Protecting Wheat
Growers

The first important breach in
Europe's policy of protecting domes-
tic wheat producers by elaborate
governmental methods can be attri-
buted to Spain. .The government of
that country has given up policies
providing for fixed prices, controlled
sales and segregation of surplus
stocks.

For twenty years the Spanish gov-
ernment has exercised control over
the wheat industry in Spain and of
late years these measures have had
infinite variety. The objective has
been to increase returns to pro-
ducers while maintaining low prices
of bread, The only regulation now in
force compels mills to keep on hand
one month’s supply of flour. The
government mow has on hand about
14,000,000 bushels out of a surplus
of about 22,000,000 bushels which
was purchased to prevent disruption
of the market last year. The gov-
ernment claims that the farmers
have extended wheat seeding to un-
suitable land, thus bringing about
the possibility of a continuous sur-
plus. Wheat is a basic factor in the
wealth of Spain, representing about
25 per cent, of the total value of all
agricultural production.—The Budget.

RECORD

LOUIS MEYER MAKES NEW

Well known to thousands of Western Canadians, Louis Meyer again won
the grueling 500-mile annual race at the Indianapolis Speedway and estab-
lished a new record of 109.06 miles per hour. Meyer is the only man to
have won the race three times. Many readers will remember his having
raced in a rubber-tired tractor at the Fall Fairs throughout Western Can-
ada several years ago. In his opinion the new speed records and absence '
of fatalities in the daring race are largely due to high speed tire develop-
ments. With the question of tire safety no longer a factor, Meyer Says |
drivers’ confidence and freedom from worry have greatly improved their
driving ability and opportunities. Firestone tires were used.

JESUS MEETING THE WORLD'S
NEEDS

Golden text: Jesus of Nazareth...
went about doing good. Acts 10:38.

Devotional reading: Acts 1:11.

Jesus Gave. a Worthy Ideal. Jesus
Meeting the World’s Needs is our
special review topic. What are the
world’s needs? Of course the an-
swer is that the world’s needs are
many, so many that no one can pos-
sibly give them all. But they can
be. classified in such a way as to
make our question not. an altogether
impossible one to answer.

Jesus gave a worthy ideal. This,
certainly, is one of the world’s great-
est needs. which Jesus meets, an
ideal of life and conduct and. spirit
which wins the approval of every one
when at his best. Others, of course,
have attempted to do this, and some
have done it with understanding and
helpfulness. Even in non-Christian
days men were setting up lofty
standards and pointing to ideals of
life and conduct that were truly
noble and good. We owe much to
the Platos and the Aristotles and the
hosts of men in ancient and in
modern times who have held up. pic-
tures of noble living and tried to
win men to emulate them. But flaws’
have been found in the standards
that others have set up, while. noth-
ing mars the picture which Jesus
drew of what we should be and do.
The Sermon on the Mount cenvicts
us and shows us the kind of lives we
should try to live.

He Realized His Ideal. He not
only painted a picture of what we
should be and how we should live
and think, but he incarnated that
picture in his own life. It is the
story of what Jesus was, even more
than his picture of what we should
be, that wins us. And it is the fact
that he was the embodiment of what.
he taught that fills us with hope;
the fact that he, in his human ex-
perience, realized the perfect. will of
God tells us that we can approach
unto his perfect life and service. It
is a most inspiring fact that Jesus
lived the kind of life he did, triumph- ’
ing in temptation and mastering the
hard and trying and tragic tasks
given him to do,

He Meets the Need of a Saviour.
Whatever may be our theory of the
meaning and purpose of the life and
death of Jesus, we all unite in one
thought that he is the Saviour of
the world.

JUDGMENT OF
SUPREME COURT
ON REFORM LAWS

Ottawa.—-The supreme court of
Canada found constitutional two of
the eight “reform” statutes, referred
to it, declared one partly valid, two
ultra vires and returned tie verdicts
on three.

The judgments in brief were:

Natural Products Marketing Act—
Invalid. ;

Farmers’ Creditors’
Act—-Valid.

Section 498a of the criminal code—
Valid.

Dominion Trade and _ Industry
Commission Act—Partly valid.

Employment and Social Insurance
Act—Invalid.

Weekly Day of Rest in Industrial
Undertakings Act—tTie verdict.

Minimum Wages Act—Tie verdict.

Limitation of Hours of Work Act
—Tie verdict. -

The Farmers’ Creditors’ Arrange-
ment Act is a device to scale down
farm debts.

Section 498a of the criminal code
imposed fines and imprisonment for
unethical business practices as
recommended by the price spreads
commission.

The Employment and Social In-
surance Act would have allowed men
and women to contribute a portion
of their wages and receive weekly
doles when they lost their jobs.

The Natural Products Marketing
Act enabled groups of producers to
set prices and regulate marketing of
their products.

Dominion Trade and Industries
Commission Act: A statute organiz-
ing &@ commission which would have
supervision over business and insist
on fair trade practices.

Minimum Wage Act, forty-eight
hour week and one day’s rest in
seven; three acts bunched in one
reference to improve labor conditions
and were passed under authority of
conventions of the _ international
labor office at Geneva,

The judges split 3-3 on three of
the statutes—minimum wages, 48-
hour week and a weekly day of rest.
Upholding the laws with the excep-
tion of one section of the Minimum
Wage Act were Chief Justice Duff
and Judges Davis and Kerwin. Find-
ing them unconstitutional were
Judges Rinfret, Canon and Crockett.

The judgments of the court will
be appealed to the privy council in
England, either by the provinces or
the Dominion, depending upon the
verdict in each case.

The judgment of the court is not
binding and does not wipe the un-
constitutional laws: off the statute
books. It is merely an opinion of the
court.

The hearing before the court last-
ed two weeks with the judges tak-
ing five months to study the 500,000
words of evidence and the hundreds
of legal precedents cited in argu-
ment. The hearing was completed
just before the opening of parlia-
ment. P

The provinces claimed the eight
laws should be wiped off the statute
books because parliament exceeded
its powers in passing them. The
Dominion upheld them, insisting they
were constitutional and within the
legal rights of parliament.

The 8-8 split on the three “treaty
laws’, minimum wages, 48-hour
week and weekly day of rest, really
will have no effect because it is not
binding. It will be appealed to the
privy council, probably by joint
action of the Dominion and prov-
inces, and its judgment will be final
although not binding on any lower
court,

Pending the privy council appeal,
it is unlikely parliament will do any-
thig to amend the unconstitutional
laws, certainly not at this session.

Arrangement

To Await New Session

Ottawa.—Amendments to the Bri-
tish North America Act to provide
a methdd by which Canada may
amend its own constitution wil? have
to await another session of parlia-
ment, Hon. Ernest Lapointe, minister
of justice, told the House of Com-
mons in answer to a question from
J. 8. Woodsworth, C.C.F. leader.

Largest Single Amounts Are For
Public Works

Ottawa. — Hon. Charles Dunning,
finance minister, tabled supplement-
ary estimates for the year ending
March 31, 1937, totalling $11,265,959,
of which the largest single amounts
were for public works, and loans and
advances to..the national harbors
boards and harbor commissions.
There was a substantial addition to
the appropriations for national de-
fence and aviation.

A total of $2,835,700 additional is
to be spent on public works, mainly
for buildings in which all the prov-
inces share except British Columbia.

One of the largest items in the
public building appropriations is
$250,000 for a supreme court build-
ing in Ottawa, a long-mooted pro-
ject.

Militia services get an additional
$1,052,426, and the air force, coupled
with civil government air operations
and civil aviation, $1,088,115.

Agriculture will get an additional
$1,193,000 of which the la item
is $750,000 for administration of the
health of animals branch, admini-
stration of Contagious Diseases Act,
and Canned Foods Act. For market-
ing of agricultural products an ad-
ditional $300,000 will be appropri-
ated.

For losses’ sustained by the British
governmefit under the 3,000 British
family » immigration agreement of
1934,/the estimates provide for $74,-
866:

An echo of the 1935 riots in Re-
gina arising from the ‘activities of
relief camp strikers, appeared in the
estimates in the form of an appro-

priation of $21,576 for legal fees

arising from the inquiry commission
which recently completed its work in
the Saskatchewan capital.

Railway Bill Approved

Gives C.N.R. Permission To Build
Line In North Quebec

Ottawa.—The house railway com-
mittee approved the legislation which
gives the Canadian National permis-
sion ‘to build a line from Rouyn to
Senneterre in northern Quebec, a dis-
tance of 99 miles at an . estimated
cost of $5,940,000. This will tap a
rich mining area east of Noranda.

The measure was not adopted by
the committee without strenuous
opposition in which N. E. Lariviere,
former member of the Quebec legis-
lature for Temiscaming, was per-
mitted to take part. Mr. Lariviere
had sponsored in the provincial
house the bill which would allow the
Canadian Pacific Railway to build
@ line from Angliers, Que., to Rouyn,

and extend it easterly through the|’

mining belt.

However, following an hour and
half’s discussion, the committee set-
tled all the pros and cons by adopt-
ing the bill in toto.

Big Oil Gusher .

Deepest Producing Well In British
Empire In Turner Valley

Calgary.—With a roar that could
be heard for several miles, a new oil
well, the Turner Valley Royalites,
decared to be the deepest producing
well in the British Empire, came into
production recently.

Following the crash of a column
of mud and water from the depths
more than a mile below the surface,
crude oil flowed out in heavy volume.
The well is 6,824 feet deep.

Clarence E. Snyder, veteran driller,
estimated the flow ran from 700 to
1,500 barrels daily. A flow-controll-
ing device was installed immediately.

Mid-Western United States Threat-
ened With Worst Plague Since 1981

Des Moines, Ia.—The worst grass-
hopper infestation since the “plague”
of 1931 and '32 threatens mid-west-
ern United States crops, an agricul-
tural survey disclosed.

With newly-hatched ‘hoppers al-
‘ready swarming over, grain fields in
sections of Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas,
Oklahoma, Missouri and Montana,
spotted infestations were reported
also in parts of Illinois, Wisconsin
and Colorado.

Recalling the devastation to corn
and small grain by the insect hordes
four years ago, H. C. Aaberg, as-
sistant Iowa secretary of agricul-
ture, asked that state’s congress-
men to join other mid-western leg-
islators in demanding a $2,500,000
federal appropriation.

Aaberg proposed the funds be
used over a two-year period to pro-
vide farmers with poison bran mash.
It is spread over the fields to kill the
pests.

In other infested areas the threat
was equally serious. O. S. Bare,
University of Nebraska entomolo-
gist, predicted Nebraska was in for
a disastrous season unless control
meaures were quickly adopted. He
added that "hoppers were reported
“by the millions” over the state.

This, in brief, was the govern-
ment's stand as outlined to Havas by
informed political quarters, who

of perfalties.

London. — The cabinet decided
sanctions against Italy must be lift-

new policy dealing, it was reported,
both with League of Nations reform
and with Germany.

The ministers, convinced continu-
ance of the present measures against
Italy would serve no useful purpose,
gave authority to the statement
which Foreign Secretary Eden will
make in the House of Commons.

That statement was expected to
follow these lines:

Sanctions: Britain is ready to lift
them if other members of the
league are willing. ,

The league must be supported but
reformed.

European peace: A way to settle-
ment must be opened and Germany
holds the key to it.

then make a getaway.”

“Yeah—and leave the girl fiat.
Why, the Hamilton spread is prac-

Amazement flooded over the Star
Loop owner's face—sheer disbelief
that such viciousness could be touch-
ed to life in the hearts and brains
of these folk. Always friendly to
him, they had suddenly sparked to
hate—and why? How was it pos-

Pieper left off, swallowing hard.
His eyes fixed on the sixgun Flem-

ter turn him over,” he stated in a
flat, determined tone. “That gent is
in your bank and we want him!”

Silence. Pieper; his mouth wide
open, raised trembling hands to ear
height. A rasp of bootheels made
both Star Loop men turn to glance
at the front door. Link’s eyes
clashed with those of Roper Kilgo,
pausing on the threshold. Two curi-
ous faces peered over his shoulder,
Benson and Buzz.

“Bank robbery!”

ber, eh?” another man flung in his
teeth. “Well, I ain’t surprised!”
Fleming tried to answer, but at
that instant his captors gave a ter-
rific jerk. He all but fell and was
dragged to the tall cedar pole that
stood before the adobe jail. Someone
was climbing it to string a rope
through the iron ring at the top. It
was meant for a flagpole, to be used
on holidays. Now it was to be the
means of a lynching,.the anger of a

" The unceasing, crafty work of (fo Be Continued)

The full significance of this alarm
required brief time to reach Link’s
brain, so utterly ridiculous was the
assertion, of course. Growls sprang
from other men behind Kilgo. Then,
with cries of “Let’s get ’em!” and
“Bank robbery—help, help!’ they
surged forward.

Pieper stood as if transfixed. Link
for the moment was indecisive—and
that hesitation made any bold move-
ment too late. For with Roper, Ben-
son, and Howland in the lead, and
an increasing crowd of townsfolk
summoned by the endless chain of
startled cries up and down Main
Street, the men swarmed about him
with guns bristling, faces charged
with the threat to kill.

He had no cause to shoot, so
merely stood scowling. “Hold on!!”
Link jerked away angrily as some-
one clutched his arm. “I’m here
after the guy that held.me up and
stole my steer money; he was seen
comin’ in this bank!”

“It’s a lie! Boys, look out for this
man—he’s got a gang with him.
Grab Drew!” Kilgo yelled. And be-
fore Mike could move he was seized.

Roper grunted. “Some more of
yuh go outside. Get Haltby and
Byrne and Laverty. What does a
man bring a lot o’ gun-throwers to
town for an’ surround the bank? I
tell yuh, boys,” he yelled as the in-
terior of the institution became pack-
ed with breathless, excited humanity,
“Link ran out o ’money. He knows
that crazy scheme o’ his—Fleming’s
Folly—is goin’ busted.

“What does he want to pull this
job for?” he cried again. ‘T’'ll
betcha he was going to leave town.
Shore. Ain’t Jackpot Mell lookin’
for him?”

Just then the tall, angular figure
of the gambler made its way to the
fore. “Yuh bet I’m after him,” Mell
growled nastily, his cold agate eyes
travelling up and down Fleming's
frame. “And right now I’ve. got
him, too!”

“Hold on, Jackpot—yuh can’t pull
a shootin’ here!”

“Anyhow, we don’t want him
shot!” brawled someone deep in the
milling throng. “Let’s lynch the
damned bank robber. Done all he
could to bust this country an’ vic-
timize us ranchers, ain’t he?”

Link strove to get free, But his
gun was gone, and ready hands
gripped his arms, holding them be-
hind him. Struggle as he might he
was a prisoner, white-faced and
tense, facing the crowd of hostile
townsfolk and ranchers whose venge-}.
ance was swiftly being aroused by
the cupidity of Kilgo and Mell.

“Wait!” he yelled. “I tell you I

guy come in.here—”’

months by Roper and Mell. The
hitherto undisputed leadership of
Kilgo was now reaping its harvest.
To have followed irrigation when he
did not believe in it was a serious
enough crime; but actually to have
won Roper’s intended bride away
from him—that was forever unfor-
givable.

Jostling, bawling, milling, crying
out epithets and insults, the throng
crashed and elbowed its way out of
the bank. Otto Pieper stood watch as
a man struck dumb. Then he fol-
lowed, automatically, blinking, clear-
ing his throat, tugging helplessly at
his watch chain as he saw the surg-
ing mob burst through his front
door and into the street. Otto could
not absorb all this. He was dumb-
founded.

“Where'll we hang him, boys?”

“How about Iron Spring?”

“Naw,” snarled a red-bearded ruf-
fian, “that’s too far. Why not use
that pole in front o’ the jail?”

This seized the fancy of the mob.
Cries of approval greeted the sug-
gestion, and everyone moved down
the street. In the crush of sweaty,
profane and vengeful humanity
Fleming was mauled and shoved,
cursed and kicked along with the
irresistible tide. His protests were
futile and unheard for the threats
of rage on all sides. There was no
reason here, but only blind frenzy—
the desire of the locals to protect
themselves against something they
did not understand but had been edu-
cated to fear.

That something was progress. The
progress of irrigation. By his
stealthy work, his astuteness and
cleverness dating from the day be-
fore the ranchers’ meeting last Fall,
Roper Kilgo had laid this ground-
work. Now he was to reap his harv-
est, using Rawhide citizens to wreak
vengeance.

The czar of Boone County was to
have his unquestioned sway § en-
dorsed!

Link realized the error of. draw-
ing his gun there in the bank. He
had done it to spur Otto, to prevent
precious minutes wasted. But dis-
covery of the tableau’ had given Kil-
go his chance—and he did not miss
it. There was no cry, not even that
of “Fire!” that would rock these
people into so terrific a rage as the
yell of “Bank Robbery!” And Roper
knew it. It would soon be noon

Link caught a glimpse elen

Little Helps For This Week

For I am persuaded that neither
death nor life, nor angels, nor prin-
cipalities, nor powers, nor things
present or things to come, nor height
nor depth, nor any other creature
shall be able to separate us from the
love of God which is in Christ Jesus
our Lord. Romans 8: 38-39 .

/

I know not what the future hath,

Of marvel or surprise,

Assured alone that life and death

His Mercy underlies.

I know not where His islands lift

Their fronded palms in air,

I only know we cannot drift

Beyond His love and care.

Be of good faith, fear not those
things ye may be made to suffer,
either outwardly or inwardly, but
trust the Lord over all and your life
will spring, and grow, and refresh
you, and you will learn obedience and
faithfulness by your sufferings. The
Lord will teach you the very mys-
tery of faith and obedience, the wis-
dom, power and goodness of the
Lord will order everything for you.

Not Much Difference

Study of the Browns Valley man,
found in Minnesota, indicates that
men who lived in North America
12,000 years ago were very much
like present-day Indians, according
to Prof. A. E. Jenks of the Univer-
sity of Minnesota.

Beech, birch, maple, sap, and re-
gum are reported as being used in
largest quantities for handles of tea
kettles and coffee pots.

If some men were to lose their
self-conceit there wouldn’t be much
left. 2156

The Silvio Gesell Scrip.

There'll be world-wide interest
'n the experiment Alberta is to
make in the S!lvio Gesell system of
issuing scrip which must be stamp-
ed monthly, says a writer in The
Edmonton Bulletin.

It was the Silvio Gesell system
which worked the “ Miracle of
Schwanenkirchen,’ in Bavaria,
A mining engineer took over a
flocded mine and paid the men
With scrip. As the’ village shop-
keepers feared the new money, he
opened a company store where the
scripoould be redeemed. Finding
their trade gone and the colliery
store prospering, the village store
keepers soon petitioned to take the
scrip,

The reduction in value of the
sérip each month — necessitating
the affixing of a stamp to main-
tain its face value—makes each
holder anxious to pay hie bills.
The Schwanenkirchen experiment
speeded the liquidation of debts,
secured prompt settlement of ac-
counts and stimulated buying. It
promised to spread over Germany.
The Reichsbank in alarm induced
the goverment to prohibit the
Gesell system.

In Schwannenkirchen the stamp
aate waslp.cper month. In 100
months the bills vetired them-
selves. .

Accepting and passing the pro-
posed Aberhart stamped scrip for
purposes of money may prove an
6xpensive matter to Alberta citiz-
ens, for they will be liable to fines
to the tune of $400 every time
they do it, according to Edmonton
Journal. The Canada Rank Act
saysso. However fast scrip may
circulate, it breaks the iaw.

Opinion of several experienced
barristers} in Edmonton, being
sought in interpretavion ef the
Act, was that stamped scrip is “an
evasive form of currency” designed
to pass a8 a ‘‘substitutefor money,”
and that under the terms of the
Dominion act anyone who attempts
to reissue it is guilty of a criminal
offence and liable to penalty.

The specific clause of the Bank
Act, sec 138, reads as follows:

“ Every ‘person, except a bank,
to which this Act applies, who
issues, reissues, makes, or draws,
or endorses any bill, bond, note,
checks or other instrament in-
tended to circulate as money, or
to beused asa substitute ‘for
money, for aby amount whatso-

ever, shall incur a™pevalty of
$400.”
